Share your story on how you have succeeded in building a source of passive income. I will love to know some solutions and how to approached to do that?

By Passive income i mean, a source of income other than your regular job where the effort to money ratio is good.



Yesterday, I had the same question. Asked it on Reddit.

I consider building my own website with Affiliate Links. I need to spend some time on development. And I chose a little bit tough niche.

As always it is buying property and index funds.

For extra money right now, I check freelance platforms and FB groups to get a gig. It's not passive but I'm glad to earn some cash. A few weeks ago I found a new website https://periodix.net/ . It shows me projects from all platforms where I searched on a gig. (Upwork, WeWorkRemotely, Remotive etc.)
